She leaves to cherish her memory, her loving husband, James C. Lewis; her devoted children, Patsy (Antonio) Carlton, Timmy Lewis, Lisa (Kelvin) Thomas, and Jamie Lewis; brothers, Otis Jackson, John (Jennifer) Jackson, Joe (Kitty) Jackson, Will (Honey) Jackson, James Jackson, and Walter (Dollie) Jackson; sisters, Mamie Pearl Patty, Hattie Ryles, Annie Anthony Wynn, and Onell (Jarvis) Fountain Lee; brother-in-law, Marshall Lewis; sisters-in-law, Mary Hoskins and Florie Matthews; grandchildren, Keyandi (Tiffany) Jerrica, Jessica, Chatney (Ronnie), Amber, Janiqua (Vincent), Jaquita, Jakisha, and Timia; 14 great-grandchildren; a special best friend and sister-in-law, Mary Hoskins; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and cherished friends
